2024-04-02Update the developer mailing list address.Edil Medeiros
The developer mailing list was migrated to Google Groups in February 2024 as announced in https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/aewBuV6k-LI. The archives maintained by the Linux Foundation stopped updating in December 2024. Thus, we point to the new archive maintained by gnusha.org. The codebase refers to old discussions linked to the Linux Foundation archives. Since all links are still active to this date, we keep them as they are. See #29782.

2021-12-10Use the imperative mood in example subject lineTobin Harding
The section `Committing Patches` contains an example commit subject line that violates rule seven of the linked guide to writing commit logs (Chris Beams famous blog post). We should practice what we preach, especially in examples :) Use the imperative mood in example commit message subject line.

2018-06-17Docs: Improve readability of "Squashing commits"wodry
It was not easy to read the comment lines for me because I was not sure whether the sentence ended with the line or not ("pull set commits"?). Therefore, dots had been invented and I have added them to signal the end of a sentence. Also begin New sentence with a capital letter. I guess, not all 'pick' words should be replaced by 'squash'? At least I found [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request](this) rebase/squash documentation helpful, where is written that the first line should not be changed.

2017-11-07Docs: Change formatting for sequence of stepsVivek Ganesan
A numbered list is used when the sequence of steps matters. A bulleted list is used to denote a set of items where the sequence does not matter. The workflow is a sequence and hence changed to a numbered list.
